Describe the bug

When trying to create a repository from the UI (regardless of the user) a Internal Server Error (500) is reported.
Withingogs.log it reads:

2025/10/15 22:38:01 [TRACE] Template: repo/create2025/10/15 22:38:04 [TRACE] Session ID: f3d9a844b47299562025/10/15 22:38:04 [TRACE] CSRF Token: _GUXS3HruKoGYdm6tn1NVftBvh46MTc2MDU2Nzg3OTAzOTA1MDQwNw2025/10/15 22:38:04 [ERROR] [...gogs/internal/route/repo/repo.go:100 handleCreateError()] CreatePost: initRepository: set default branch: exit status 128 - fatal: detected dubious ownership in repository at '/data/git/gogs-repositories/tomes/test.git'To add an exception for this directory, call:        git config --global --add safe.directory /data/git/gogs-repositories/tomes/test.git2025/10/15 22:38:04 [TRACE] Template: status/500

The same ERROR is shown in the web UI at the 500-page.

To reproduce

I run gogs with via:

ExecStart=/usr/bin/podman run \        --cidfile=%t/%n.ctr-id \        --cgroups=no-conmon \        --rm \        --sdnotify=conmon \        -d \        --replace \        --name=gogs \        -p 10022:22 \        -p 3000:3000 \        -v /srv/git/:/data gogs:latest

Notable requirement: /srv/git is a NFSv3 share; Here my directory listing:

deploy@git:/srv$ ls -la git/total 20drwxrwxrwx+ 5 root root   4096 Oct 15 18:07 .drwxr-xr-x  4  501 deploy 4096 Jul 21 20:52 ..drwxr-xr-x+ 4  501 deploy 4096 Oct 15 22:37 gitdrwxr-xr-x+ 5  501 deploy 4096 Oct 15 18:30 gogsdrwx------+ 2  501 deploy 4096 Oct 15 18:07 ssh

Expected behavior

I could globally configure git within my container such that all repositories created are accepted as safe.
Or better: I can simply create bare repositories via the web interface.

Additional context

Today I updated my gogs image - With the image between 27.07.2025 - 31.07.2025 taggedlatest fromdocker.io I was able to create repositories from the UI.
Mostlikely this has something to do with my NFSv3 share. But I am unable to replace the device in the next years and can not change the file system since the device is locked down.

I removed permissions for others for user tomes; But he still can't create repositories (nor can the admingogs):

deploy@git:/srv$ ls -la git/git/gogs-repositories/total 16drwxrwxrwx+ 4 501 deploy 4096 Oct 15 22:25 .drwxr-xr-x+ 4 501 deploy 4096 Oct 15 22:37 ..drwxrwxrwx+ 2 501 deploy 4096 Oct 15 22:25 gogsdrwxrwx---+ 2 501 deploy 4096 Oct 15 22:37 tomes

Starting gogs shows many, many warnings like this:
Oct 15 22:37:48 git gogs[148681]: chown: /data/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key.pub: Operation not permitted
